In this live Spanish-language session, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas fielded a wide range of questions from viewers about U.S. immigration processes. She explained the temporary 14‑day pause on the family‑based parole program and its practical implications, detailed how U.S. citizens can sponsor parents abroad through the I‑130 petition, and clarified the limited options for DACA recipients with resident parents. Rivas discussed the I‑601A provisional unlawful‑presence waiver, noting typical 3‑4‑year processing times and the narrow circumstances under which it can be expedited. She outlined VAWA relief, its roughly two‑year adjudication period and subsequent residency timeline, and addressed uncertainty surrounding Parole in Place (PIP) and its dependence on political outcomes. The attorney also covered victim‑based visas—Visa T for trafficking victims and Visa U for crime victims—describing eligibility, work authorization, and the 1‑2‑year path to permanent residency. For cases lacking an I‑94, she recommended obtaining a FOIA request to prove lawful entry. Rivas highlighted alternative relief options such as 245(i), military parole, and VAWA for undocumented parents, and repeatedly provided her firm’s contact numbers, office locations, and social‑media handles, encouraging viewers to schedule consultations. The session blended instructional guidance, caution about legal risks, and promotional messaging, concluding with a reminder to vote and a brief personal sign‑off.
